It's Time For a Serious Discussion About Snowpiercer.

The Melbourne Film Festival starts today, which means it's time for serious film discussions. And the film I want to have a serious discussion about right now is SNOWPIERCER.

Yes, it's great. But I feel a key question has been left unaddressed.

WHERE DO THEY PUT THE CHICKENS?

The chickens would be smelly and loud, so they wouldn't want them up the front of the train next to the rich people.

But they couldn't put the chickens at the back of the train either, or else the poor people would just break in and eat them.

It seems to me the most optimum carriage to place the chickens would be in between the soldiers' barracks and the water supply, but we see the characters walk through these carriages uninterrupted and there are no chickens.

SO WHERE ARE THE CHICKENS?

Sorry for ruining the movie for you.
